Have you ever thought of getting others involved in maintaining the
software? For example, it could be an Apache project, to maintain
and further develop the software?
I think increasing the base of people who can support MirrorBrain is
critical if we are to rely on it. This would be true of any critical
piece of project software, web servers, version control, wiki, bug
trackers, etc. We want to use quality software, but we also need to
avoid single points of failure. A system that is reliant on a single
person's effort, no matter how technically elegant it may be, is
risky.
